I have been doing sort of similar things. Monthly have a 3 month retention
and then I change the duplicates that go off-site to 1 year. I checked at 4
months and the regular tapes had been re-used but the duplicates were still
not expired. I also checked to make sure that I could still browse to
restore from the off-site images and I could so they hadn't expired
(importing all those tapes would be awful).

Hello Group.

What happens to the expiration data of the backup images of copy #1 , if I
Change the expiration date of the medias in copy #2.

This is what I am trying to do:-
I am duplicating the backup of a class -->schedule Type "Full" (retention
level INFINITY) for offsite storage . Now I change the expiration date of
each offsite tape( that is copy #2) to 1 Month, as I am keeping the tapes at
offsite for only one month. using the command:
bpexpdate -ev MEDIAID -d mm/dd/yy -force.

Will this affect the retention level of the backup images in the original
backup , that is backup copy#1?

Thanks in advance.
Shyam.
